I am continuing to investigate action screw torque.  One thing that 
has turned up on some correspondence is the admonition not to crush 
the flange.  Any thoughts on why this is a bad idea, other than 
aesthetics?  Would the flange have a tendency to get loose sooner as 
a result of some crushing?  Is the magic circle of sound 
detrimentally affected by flange crushing?
